For our niece will be celebrating her 30th next Friday.




I have not done any crochet for years so am quite pleased how these turned out - there are a few mistakes but I hope no one notices, lol.
I made them for a challenge but by the time I had made them AND made the card the challenge had ended :-(
I made the circle sentiment in Publisher - I surprised myself that I remembered how to do it. It has been liberally distressed with TH vintage photo distress ink - the most used of the two TH distress ink pads I posses.


Since taking the pic I added pearls to the bottom RH to match the top left

Thought I'd add a pic of the box. Very plain - distressed doily - computer generated greeting with a gem - seam ribbon bow and a WO rose




Other ingredients -
Muslin
Purple fibre 'stuff'
Gorgeous lace from Linda, Funkie Junkie
Seam binding ribbon
Pearl buttons
Butterflies from goody bag win
Flat back pearls
Glittery flourish

Thank you for stopping by :-)
Cheers me dears

This is just fabulous, Irene! The vintage picture of the little girl is just as sweet as can be and I just love all the yummy shabby, vintage style embellishments. Your crocheted flowers turned out sensational - LOVE those. Thanks so much for being a regular with our Sunday Share linky party at Frilly and Funkie. I always love seeing how you use the items from my shop!

Hugs,
